Loss of Boost at Wide Open Throttle

Hello, I've searched and searched and can't find a thread with the same issue. I have a 2021 RZR Turbo S Dynamix, I only have about 10 hours on the car, and have done a lot of upgrades including intake J tube, charge tube, blow off valve(all EVO), and removed the cat from the stock muffler. stock tuning still, for now. it runs great, and drives as expected at most any throttle position, accelerates as hard as I want, unless Im wide open throttle, it will build boost, take off, spin the tires, and once its at full boost for a second it will pop the waste gate (I'm pretty sure) and lose all boost, and power. as soon as I release the throttle I can get back into it again and it runs fine until I repeat WOT and it does it again. no check engine lights ever. I checked charge tube connections and they're tight, no springs on the clamps at EVO's direction. anyone had this? my guess is slightly better air flow in and out has created more boost than the stock waste gate wants to handle? anyone had similar experience?

I have adjusted the waste gate one turn and it may have taken a quarter second longer to crack. heim is bottomed out on turbo side. I do have a video of it, ill try to attach it here.

I have the 19 and it does the same thing Ive asked Polaris and they dont seem to have an idea. I even bought a new air filter thinking It was restricting air flow and maybe collapsing the flimsy rubber air line to the filter? Still having the problem brother inlaw has the 1000 Turbo and his does the same thing.

If you can't find anything obvious, do a proper boost leak test. I don't have a video of doing one on a RZR (maybe I'll make one), but here is the gist of what you should do: https://jaztuning.com/blog/f/how-to-boost-leak-test-at-home

I'd run it up to 23-24 PSI to ensure you don't have a leak opening up a higher pressures.


After that, you move to checking the wastegate actuator, EBCS, BPV, and take logs (verify that intake is not collapsing, like what was said above).

And...?

Any codes?

I have a 2020 pro xp, and mine is having this exact same issue right now. Bought the car with the Evo stage 3 kit (exhaust, charge tube, BOV ) it ran phenomenal. I recently replaced the j tube with an after market, also installed a larger dynojet air filter, and found only at WOT it loses power. But when I let off and hit it again it has all the power for a seccond then loses it again. If I stay at 3/4-7/8 throttle it runs great, as soon as I go WOT it happens again, like clock work. I am going to take off the intake tube and run it down the road and see if it fixed the issue, I will update this thread after. Seems like a plausible solution, trying to suck in more air then the crappy stock tube can handle.
